The hard part

Paying creators pro-rata by listening duration is a metering and settlement problem, not a feature. You need per-listener duration attributed to the right creator, aggregated over a period, reconciled against what actually cleared from subscription revenue, and correct enough that people are willing to be paid by it. Getting the money right is where consumer products with revenue sharing usually break.

What I built

Native iOS client in Swift. Node.js and MongoDB backend. Tiered subscriptions and one-off creator donations through an integrated payment provider. A pro-rata revenue-sharing engine distributing payouts by individual listening duration, surfaced to creators through an Angular web application.
